Im creating this thread to help people root there HDC Galaxy SIII I9300
and to extend this thread to eventually help people install updated firmware and new roms for their device.
help from everyone will all be taken into count if deemed correct and tested by me
All credit goes to

and his blog for rooting the device in question
this is proven by me to work on
mtk6573
mtk6575
mtk6577
Do not miss any steps follow close and pause video if needed
heres the link
A play store fix is provided which is helpful but installation of it is not properly stated in video and caused me to fail first time
corrections are stated below:
download es file manager, once downloaded remember to mount system as writable at bottom in settings of application
also download s3market files provided, i have never used other file provided for calender etc it has no use in mtk6575 versions of the device
store s3market on root of sdcard
copy files within one by one, not together to system location shown
install the com.android.vending-3.5.16.apk file provided in s3market.
fix permissions in properties of files shown
then reboot device
what i have corrected in the procedure will fix the stopped unexpectedly error 100% if done correctly in mtk6575 phones of this device
I'm curious, how do these phones compare to the real thing? I gave up on clone phones after receiving a very bad quality ciphone 09..
Visually Stunning, Functionally a failure...
Be Warned, the HDC Galaxy S3 especially from fastcardtech are not worth the money and mental anguish to get the thing rooted. They come with Gingerbread, and Locked, and full of Chinese Apps. Once you free of that, the Google Sync is limited, so you cannot get your mail, calender, etc synced. Then there is Colonel Zap which is mysteriously the only person in the world prone to be able to root these devices, but be warned again. Only unless you specifically know your Chipset in your phone, MT6577 or 6575, good luck with that, you should be wary of rooting per Col Zap, as in my case, there process bricked one of my two phones from FastCardTech. And don't get me going on FastCardTech, they are complete B.S., takes over a month to accomplish anything, then they send you the lesser model than you pay for. Doesn't matter all the FREE CRAP you will be offered with this phone, doesn't make up for the fact that is is just a great looking shell with poor electronics inside.
Look these phones are from CHINA, the specs offered online are fiction, and are burnt into the kernel of the phone,so it only appears that you are getting what it states online. you are only getting a phone capable of meager performance, NO 4g, 3g, but at lower speeds if your are lucky enough to fit the Mobile Frequency Spectrum the phone runs in, being their made in China, not a U.S. friendly phone in that aspect. Wi-fi is spotty, and the software is crap, bottom line you get what you pay for, and not many resources to get you through the hard times. Good Luck.....!! At least it looks like the real thing you can show off to your friends while they laugh at you.....
Specs do not match and support is very poor
I bought the "Ultimate pro" version from FastcardTech.com (as a new member i am not allowed to post the link) and it does not meet the specs given by them. The GPS took about 2 hours outside to determine my position. After a factory defaults reset i could not find the strength to do this again
The CPU is not the 6577, but the slower 6575. The camera quality is very poor. The wifi signal is very, very weak. (i have a very good and strong router) The sound quality of a phone call is poor. The 'gsm sound' disturbes the conversation all the time, as if you are to close to a speaker. When you complain to FCT, don't expect any customer support. They give to most strange answers and can give no specific support what so ever. After some time, they say i can return the phone, but it's allmost impossible to meet their requirements, so i am pretty sure that when the have it back, i will never hear from them again. (just read the customer feedback on any honest site)
Including tax, shipping and insurance, i paid about 250 euo's for this phone.
If i had known this all on time, i would not have bought it.
But on the other hand, the responsiveness and quality of the screen is good. Gaming goes smooth and after countless factory defaults, i have managed to turn off most Chinise apps, without losing the nice 'Samsung startscreen'.
All together is not such a bad phone after all, but its not what i counted on in the first place.
Now i am curious about if there will be any tweaks possible. Rooting, custom firmware etc...
I am willing to help if possible.
Kind regards,
Coupedevil

Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience. It's disappointing to read how unprofessional some of these shops are It's one thing when they mess up the specs on pre-release products but this shouldn't happen with a phone that has been available for so long. Looks to me like they simply sent the wrong phone to begin with. Their lack of knowledge of even FCE-level English makes it so much worse
I'm looking at chinastore-online to get the Jiayu G2+. The shop at least claims some customer-friendly terms, but so far I've yet to hear from anyone who made a purchase there.
So hang on you've bought an obvious Chinese knock off and your surprised to find its crap? If your interested I can do you a great price on some magic beans (cash or bank transfer only).

I have this galaxy s3 mt6575 clone, same as in the pictures in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921178
I also had troubles getting the gps to work and started to think it didnt work at all.
But lately I have managed to get some gps signal to work.
I did flash the cwm recovery and have now installed the Lewa rom for it.
google "LeWa For Samsung Galaxy S3 MTK6575" to find the rom if you want to try.
Not sure if it was that rom that made the gps work or not, because I also did install an app named GPS Booster, as well as the u-center gps test app, and the GPS Test app.
Now I get enaugh signal to get my position. But the antenna is weak I think, so I need to be outdoor and have clear weather and clear view to the sky to get it to work. I did not test it in the car yet, but I think it might be to weak to work reliably inside the car.
i just bought the MTK6577 (s3 mimic)
and i want to change his rom (its already rooted)
what rom will work at this device?

Same Products MT6575
I have the software to update another model, which is not mentioned, but with the same processor.
I have also to update the software, it would be possible to modify intalando software programs and extract and place in another of the same model, but modified?
So manufactures improve their imperfections.
Hi friends,
My friend just got himself a Galaxy S4 from his trip to China. It is around $100 cheaper. But he doubts whether it is original due to following reasons :
1. There are no GApps (GMail, GTalk, Search or Now)
2. There are no Motion settings (or at least he couldn't find any) so no AirView, AirGestures, etc.
3. Antutu benchmark is showing 7412
4. There is not showing any Temperature or Barometer sensor in Android System Info app.
5. CPU showing as 'some' UNIVERSAL5410 1.6Ghz Quad-Core ARM v7 revision 10
6. SDCard showing as 2Gb and ROM as 512Mb (??) in Antutu.
But Android System Info (and few other similar apps) is showing
1. RAM = 2GB
2. Display = 5" 1920x1080
3. CPU = UNIVERSAL5410 1.6 GHz ARMv7 revision10
4. GPU = PowerVRSGX5xx (sorry don't remember exactly)
It has firmware version - i9500ZCUAMDG. Surprisingly it is a legit firmware of Samsung as posted here.
My friend is quite depressed as he thinks he is cheated
Plz advise !
Thanks :good:
PS. Ok...so I found some info on UNIVERSAL5410. Plz check.

Definitely fake / clone
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
most android smartphones sold in china have no google apps because the service provided by google in china is very limited. that is the problem between the chinese government and google.
looking for the answers for the rest.
Doesnt seem to be fake. Universal5410 has the model number for the exynos 5410 chip. Clones dont have 2GB RAM on top of that idk about air view and stufd not bring there though so..

Has he got an option to register on the phone to Samsung services, register the phone on that, fakes won't have it. Like create a Samsung account. China and Google don't go well together, hence no Play Store and such. Has it got all the Samsung logos, front, back, battery, serial number. Proper functioning TouchWiz? Check the camera, go into settings make sure it's got the full 13MP. It should have motion control and such can't see why the Chinese model wouldn't have that.

You didn't seem understand my comment. I was being sarcastic by saying it is better to buy Chinese electronics from the USA so that they are authentic even though they all come from China. I was just being funny. ha ha :laugh::laugh: Oh by the way China = cheap labor!!! USA = Quality and ingenuity!!! Nothing from China has quality unless foreign intelligence is there to guide them.

And here are photos on Samsung Webpage - check second photo, yellow flash light and engraved logo = international version.

Nice, this suppose to be "counterfeited" phone with such a level of details, samoled display, CPU, camera sensor, original firmware beacause the only difference that TechRex guy can present is different color of flash led and logo on back cover...... What an idiot/troll.
I have asked him for few more pics.
He is quite depressed actually
I'll keep posting as and when i receive images.
He tried to update but it said "Your system is up to date".
I don't think it's a fake.
Looks like the international I9500, the firmware will be the official Chinese version.
So he should install a international ROM.
I'm from Europe Germany, as far as I know all the cell phones in the states are provider bound.
The provider bound smartphones are specially build for the providers. They have different hardware and firmware. Is there an international version of the I9500 that is sold in the states?
If so try to get the firmware version of that and flash it via Odin.
The other option is to contact Samsung USA, maybe they can help your friend. I can't imagine that he is the only person with this problem.

IMHO You should check if Kies detects this phone and connects to it. Also try to flash proper firmware for Your region with Odin.
Yesterday was the day the Google Play editions of the HTC One and the Galaxy S4 were unleashed to the Playstore.
This may be a bigger deal than most of us give credit to.
It could be the start of Google taking more control over Android back to themselves.
But... Those OEMS still optimize the Kernel to work with their respective Chipsets/Camera's and other hardware features.
Wich means the code will be optimized for example the Exynos Processor inside the Galaxy S4.
My question is: Can we eat the fruits of this mighty fine tree?
Could it be possible to use some of this code to transform it into something usable for good old GT-I9100?
I know it's probably wishful thinking, but nonetheless; One can dream RIGHT??
We would need an S2 google edition.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Well no, the google edition is the Snapdragon version.. not the exynos version..
That sounded (sadly enough) completely logical, thanks.
If only Samsung opened up a bit. There is little for Sammy to loose if they gave 'old' S2 the hackers delight treatment.
That s4 has snapdragon s600. No luck for exynos source codes.
What we should take from this is: do not get anything with "own" components, get something with commonly used components. It will be rather easy to port stuff for such architecture (Qualcomm chipsets for example).

Hello, not exactly new to Android or Linux for that matter, but this has got me stumped.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 from China because the seller conned me into thinking it was a g900v. It turns out its a Sm-G9006v. Android says it is 4.4.2 but other programs (Sysinfo, looking up the IMEI) tell me it is 4.2.2. So which do I believe? How do find out once and for all?
There are other little weird things about this phone and I'll explain if you'd like.

The additional information about anomalies would help. As you discerned, the system information screen looks legitimate, but SysInfo reports a fake i.e. MT6572/4.2.2. Which is correct?
One way to tell conclusively would be to run an extended benchmark suite. There would be a substantial difference in benchmark scores between a fake with a MT class processor and a legitimate G9006V (China Unicom S5). Alternately, you could look closely at the system files to discern if you actually have 4.2.2 or 4.4.2. Or multiple irreconcilable anomalies would.be compelling evidence of a fake.
.
Looking at the status bar icons it is pretty apparent this is not an original S5. Or maybe the seller rooted his device and changed the icons.
Also, it shows up as a Mediatek based device (mt6572). IT IS FAKE.

Since you're certain, can you provide a screenshot of a known legitimate China Unicom S5 for comparison?
If you've never seen a China unicom S5, then it's premature to declare it a fake before we really know. A different icon could easily be something that the carrier or a localized update effected.

It's running a Mediatek chipset. It is 100% fake. No variant of the S5 uses a Mediatek chipset. Kernel version is also incorrect and Android version shows JDQ39 which is Jellybean. No version of the S5 runs on Jellybean.
Here is your requested image: http://i3.sinaimg.cn/IT/cr/2014/0319/1504933938.jpg sourced from: http://tech.sina.com.cn/mobile/n/2014-03-19/07359253359.shtml
I'm thinking this might be the phone you're talking about...
http://upnovo.com/?Wholesale-China-mobile-cell-smart-phone-cheap/Chinese-Copy-Samsung-Galaxy-S5-G9006-Clone-Replica.html
You're assuming that sysinfo is correct. And it is far from 100% reliable. I already stipulated earlier that it will be a fake if sysinfo turns out to be correct. The information page for the G9006V that you found after the fact is inconclusive with mostly oblique screen views.
The bottom line is that we don't know one way or the other for certain yet. You can cherry pick the evidence suggesting it's a fake if you wish. But there is no reasonable basis to say that the matter has been conclusively proven yet. The OP needs to benchmark the processor or another metric that will clearly distinguish between the two.
.
its fake, the android numbers is jelly bean 4.3 , the battery icon is a themed one.
Wrong cpu, wrong board, wrong buildnumber, a clear and obvious copy of a S5. Sorry for you dude. Try to get your money back if you can if you payed with your credit card because of fraud
Yeah, it's 199% fake. Get a refund if possible.
If you want to make it sure, try connecting it to a pc with kies3.
It's a fake, looking at the photo's, the phone is a dual sim phone, in china only the sm9008W and sm9009 are dual sim.
A fake..
Now here's the kicker, it has the heartbeat sensor, it has the fingerprint sensor. Do you think maybe the person I bought it from just flashed it with a wrong ROM?

Despite a lot of dogmatic opinions in the thread, you still don't have enough information to know yet. You probably have a fake, but that isn't certain simply because a third party app says that you have Jelly Bean firmware and a MT processor. It's a fake if that information is correct, but it wouldn't be the first time that an app has reported erroneous information either.
Likewise, missing the heartrate or fingerprint sensors would be strong evidence of a fake. But the best quality clones do have working heartrate & fingerprint apps. The most damming evidence IMO is the kernel version which is suggestive of a clone. But I stand by my earlier advice. Had you run a benchmark suite, you'd already have a conclusive answer.

Hi
This is for inform all that recently i buy on Aliexpress, Store: Century Tech nº1186519, from Spain, this model:link suppressed (if interested i send by e-mail,because i can not post the links )
When i verify the CPU and Speed i found one CPU MediaTEK 6735 at 1.09Ghz even a MTK 6737 at 1.3Ghz as the specifications show! The seller Do NOT accept my complains, said is not true,this is the board used on Doogee X5 Pro less expensive,NOT used on X5MaxPRO!
Some photos on my drive link: (send by request by e-mail:[email protected])
Best regards

Try the firmware update:

People say it changes the CPU clock to 1.3 GHz:

Thanks for the information,but if the CPUZ identify the Phone with MTK6735 even MTK6737,seems have a big probability that rom stuck the phone...

Finally i try the firmware from Doogee site version 08/10/2016,the speed increase to 1248Mhz NO more! The CPU ID continue MTK 6735 even MTK6737! (view with MTK engineering codes).
The phone work Ok, with the exception of Hoptspot feature, refuse the connections! Maybe a problem on the software Android 6.0...
From Doogee Support NO answer till today, also form the Aliexpress Shop Seller. I am also LOST my possible refund, BECAUSE the Aliexpress Site not finished (never finished,photos GO well) my UPLOAD prof video, and my external link on YOUTUBE was ignored!... I was scammed by the seller with the help of Aliexpress support Team. The case was close automaticle .
On Aliexprese site and till today i buy 4 Doogee X5 ,1 Doogee X5Max (Egrow Group, 100%OK), and 1 Doogee X5Max Pro.(Century Tech,Bad support)
Thanks to the XDA People for the help

Hi
This is for inform all that recently i buy on Aliexpress, Store: Century Tech nº1186519, from Spain, this model:link suppressed (if interested i send by e-mail,because i can not post the links )
When i verify the CPU and Speed i found one CPU MediaTEK 6735 at 1.09Ghz even a MTK 6737 at 1.3Ghz as the specifications show! The seller Do NOT accept my complains, said is not true,this is the board used on Doogee X5 Pro less expensive,NOT used on X5MaxPRO!

I bough from dx deal express from uk. and it was the same
I recently bought 3 from dealextreme also. If you check the phone with other CPU identifying apps, it shows all good. CPU Z is great, but it is well known for getting chip information incorrect in phones and PCs alike. Just google it.
Great for a cheap phone!! Just be aware that the default ROM does have malware in it which should be removed IMMEDIATELY!!
Thanks

Thanks for the information,even the problem appear with CPUZ (wrong CPU information), the MTK codes show also the same CPU id = MTK6735 even MTK 6737!... The Speed with Antutu or Zdevices or CPU-Z is also is 1.09Ghz even 1.3Ghz!?
The phone was good but the information of hardware show something is not correct. The support from Doogee ANSWER to emails was Zero!!
About the ROM with Malware, i don’t know nothing about... ( the phone is on my Daughter hands), only NO permit (YET) access to Hotspot,but seems a usual problem on Android 6, resolved ( on other Android 6) phone that i have with this solution :http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-enable-tethering-android-6-0-marshmallow-update-1524792
Best regards and Merry Christmas
